Dozens of protesters in downtown Miami gathered at the Torch of Friendship on Friday, calling out Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for its actions in Florida. The crowd chanted slogans such as "Say it loud, say it clear, ICE is not welcome here!" to convey their strong opposition.

As the demonstrators marched through the area, many carried signs that read "Abolish ICE enforcement" and wore shirts with bold statements against the agency's presence in the state. Their message echoed a nationwide wave of protests that have been taking place across the country.

The protesters' demands were simple: they wanted ICE agents to leave Florida. Activists at the event described their actions as a show of solidarity, with many feeling an overwhelming sense of frustration and anger towards the agency's policies.

The protest is part of a growing movement to hold the government accountable for its treatment of migrants and asylum seekers. With more rallies planned throughout the state over the weekend, it seems unlikely that ICE will be able to remain a silent presence in Miami anytime soon.

OMG I'm low-key shocked by all these protests going on across the country 🤯! Like, I know people are against ICE's actions but seeing so many ppl coming out to show their support is a big deal 🙌! It's like everyone's finally had enough of the situation and is demanding change 🔄. I'm here for it, tbh 💁‍♀️! The fact that ppl are using social media to spread awareness and mobilize people to take action is so cool 📱💻. Let's keep the momentum going and make some real changes happen 💥!
 
🚨 I gotta say, this ice situation in Florida is getting crazy! I mean, I get why people are frustrated with their policies, but this is getting to a point where it's affecting the community as a whole 🤯. I'm all for showing solidarity and standing up against injustice, but at the same time, we need to think about how our actions might impact others... you know? Like, what if ICE agents are actually trying to do their job here? Don't get me wrong, I totally get why people want them gone, but let's not forget there's a human side to this too 😊. Can we find some middle ground? 🤝
 
I'm seeing some serious passion from these protesters in Miami 🤯👊. It's like they're not holding back on their emotions - frustration, anger, and a sense of solidarity all mixed together. I mean, who wouldn't be upset when you see the actions ICE is taking? 🤔 Those signs that say "Abolish ICE enforcement" are sending a strong message: this isn't just about Florida, it's about the whole country feeling like they're being targeted.

I'm wondering how many people from the community are actually directly affected by these policies. Are they seeing friends and family members get deported or detained? That kind of personal connection can make all the difference in fueling a movement like this. What do you think is driving this wave of protests across the country - is it just a coincidence, or is there something more at play?
 
omg i cant even imagine having to deal with all these issues with ice in florida like whats next?! they r so mean to ppl who just wanna make a new life 4 themselves 🤷‍♀️. i think its super cool that ppl are standin up 4 what's rite and demanding change. we gotta make sure our gov is representin us not bein all about profit over ppl 🤑. i hope the protesters can get their message across and maybe, just maybe, ice will start 2 listen 💬. btw, i'm so tired of seeing ppl being treated like animals in this country 😩. it's time 4 change! 🌟
 
Ugh, another bunch of people think they can just show up, make some noise, and get their way... like it's always gonna work out that smoothly for them 🤦‍♂️. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm all for standing up for what you believe in, but these protests are just a bunch of people screaming into the void, thinking someone is actually listening and will magically make everything better 😒. And what's with the chants? "ICE is not welcome here"? Oh really? That's gonna change anything? It's just more noise, if you ask me 🗣️. I'll believe it when I see real action being taken, but until then, I'm just gonna assume this is all just a publicity stunt 📺.
 
ICE agents are literally ruining people's lives and now they're getting the message 🚨👮‍♂️. It's crazy how people can just show up in the middle of the city, make some noise, and get their point across. I love that these protesters had the guts to stand up for what they believe in and it's awesome that there are so many of them willing to take a stand against ICE 🤝💪. This protest is just another example of how passionate people are about this issue and I'm all for it 💯👏.
 
I'm seeing so many videos of people protesting against ICE and I gotta say, I got nothing but respect for these folks 🙌. They're standing up for what they believe is right and fighting for justice - you can't ask for more than that 💪. I've been following this movement and it's amazing to see how passionate and united everyone is. The fact that they're using chants and signs to spread their message shows that they mean business 📣. It's time for the government to listen to the people and take action on the issues that matter most. Let's keep supporting our fellow protesters and show them that we stand with them 💕.
 
I'm all about supporting those who speak out against injustice 🤝. It's totally understandable that people are fed up with ICE's policies and want them gone 🚫. The way these protesters are showing solidarity is really powerful – it's not just about holding a sign or chanting slogans, it's about being vocal and making their voices heard 👊.

I'm also loving the idea of a nationwide movement to hold the government accountable for how they treat migrants and asylum seekers 🌎. It's time for change, and I think these protests are an amazing step in the right direction 💪. We need more people speaking out against systemic injustices and demanding better policies for everyone 🗣️.
 
OMG, this is getting serious! I'm so done with the way ICE is treating people like they're less than human 🤯. I mean, who are these ppl thinking they can just come in here and start enforcing laws that target specific communities? It's not right, you know? We need to stand up for what's fair and equal for everyone, regardless of where they're from or how they got here.

I'm loving the energy at this protest, though! The chants and signs are everything – it's like a big ol' collective "NO" to ICE's presence in our state. And I gotta say, I'm with the activists on this one – we can't just sit back and let the gov't do whatever they want without speaking out. We need to hold them accountable for their actions, especially when it comes to human rights.

This movement is growing, and I'm so here for it! 🤝 We're gonna keep pushing until our voices are heard, and ICE is held responsible for their harm. Let's make some noise, Miami! 💪
 
I'm so down with these protesters 🤩 they're speaking up against ICE's actions and I think that's totally justified. I mean, who doesn't want their community to feel safe and respected? 🌟 it's amazing to see so many people coming together like this, showing their support for those who are already struggling. We gotta keep pushing for change, you know? 💪
 
I'm all about giving platforms like Reddit the freedom to speak their minds 🤷‍♂️. This protest might seem intense, but at its core, people are just trying to hold those in power accountable for the way they're treating migrants and asylum seekers. It's like when I see a post on r/ICE that sparks an important conversation – it's all about sparking change 💡. As long as we've got platforms where we can discuss our passions without fear of censorship or judgment, we'll keep pushing for justice 🔒.
 
I'm seeing a lot of anger and frustration towards ICE right now 💡. But is this protest just about slamming the agency or are they pushing for real change? 🤔 I think we need to consider the complexities behind their actions. It's not like ICE agents are just walking around Miami without any purpose, they're enforcing laws meant to keep our country safe.

I'm all for accountability and reforming policies that affect migrants and asylum seekers, but let's also talk about the economic and social implications of abolishing ICE enforcement entirely. 📊 It's a tough decision that needs careful consideration. Perhaps we should be focusing on finding solutions that balance safety with compassion?

It's not just about "say no" to ICE, it's about saying "yes" to creating a better system for everyone 💕. Let's try to have a rational discussion instead of just shouting slogans 🗣️.
 
I'm totally with these protesters, but can we talk about the practicality of just "abolishing" ICE enforcement? I mean, who's gonna step in and handle all those cases of human trafficking and organized crime? 🤔 It's not that simple. We need to find a more nuanced solution, like reforming the agency or creating new pathways for migrants to enter the country safely.

And can we please talk about how these protests are bringing people together? I saw some amazing solidarity between people from different backgrounds and ages. It gives me hope that maybe we can actually make a difference with all this protesting. But at the same time, we need to be realistic about what's possible. We can't just expect everything to change overnight. Let's keep pushing for change, but let's also have a conversation about how it's gonna work in practice 🤝
 
I'm all about the protests, but can we talk about how they used to do this stuff back in the 90s? Like, remember those epic V for Vendetta masks everyone wore? Now it's all about signs and chants... I mean, don't get me wrong, it's great that people are speaking out, but there's something missing. Maybe it's just me, but I miss the raw energy of a protest that's not just organized, but also a bit unpredictable. Like, remember the time in 2000 when a group of environmental activists occupied this exact same torch? It was all about direct action, and it sparked real change. Nowadays, it feels like everyone's playing by the rules... 🤔💡
 
🌴 saw this news and gotta say, it's crazy how passionate people are about this issue... I've lived in Miami my whole life and never seen anything like this. it's not just about ICE, it's about humanity and treating others with respect 🤝. we need to remember that everyone deserves a chance to start fresh, no matter where they're from. these protests might be loud, but they're also necessary 🗣️. as someone who's lived through their fair share of life changes, I know how hard it can be to navigate new systems and find your place... we should be supporting each other, not pointing fingers at institutions 💖.
 
I was watching this crazy video of a sea otter unboxing presents online the other day 🐻😂 and I swear, its reaction is exactly how I'd feel if someone from ICE came up to me with a clipboard... just totally baffled! But seriously, have you ever noticed how some foods just taste better when they're not in a package? Like, take this Korean instant noodle thingy... it's so much better when you cook it fresh 🍜👌. Anyway, back to this ICE thing... I guess what I'm trying to say is, can't we all just get along and have some decent food in our lives?
 
OMG, this is sooo intense 🤯! I mean, I'm all about freedom and justice for everyone, but the way these protesters are standing up against ICE is really inspiring 🔥! They're not just fighting for themselves, they're fighting for an entire community that's been affected by the agency's policies.

I gotta say, the vibes at this protest were super positive 🌈. Everyone was chanting and holding hands, it was like a big ol' hug for humanity 🤗. And those signs? So empowering! "Abolish ICE enforcement" is literally my spirit quote 💖!

This whole movement reminds me of that iconic scene from Hidden Figures where the women are fighting for equality in space exploration 🚀. It's all about standing up for what's right and not giving up, even when it's hard.

I'm rooting for these protesters all the way 💪! They're showing us that we can make a difference when we come together and demand change 🌟. Bring on more rallies and let's keep pushing for a more just society!
